: My intuitive exerience with the HP vs. Sun Oracle debate would be that HP : kicks the Sun Machines Butt!!!

I don't think HP has provided any TPC-A benchmarks on the E35, but we did do a TPC-C when we introduced the E-class systems. The E-35 provided 401 tpmC ($1,895/tpmC).

I don't know that comparing the E35 to the SPARCserver 10:51 is the best comparison though. The E35 costs about US$12,000 at list, while the SPARCserver 10:51 runs around $20,000!! And remember that the E35 can include an internal backup device for enhanced reliability - the SS10:51 requires another box to house the tape backup.
